Re: No TCP alerts, only UDP and ICMP

or any BPF added to the end as a runtime arg?  How about just running
a tcpdump with a snaplen of 0 and write to a pcap to see...

Was wondering - you wouldn't by chance be running with a filter via the "-F" runtime switch (or "config bpf_file" in 
snort.conf), would you?

Hi Lay,

Sorry for my late reply. I wouldn't be able to provide a pcap file, at least for now.

However, I tried that in Snort, using the -K pcap (I also tried the -b switch) and read that through tcpdump, and I 
only got UDP packets, with some ICMPs. Running Snort in verbose mode shows that the majority of the traffic is in 
fact TCP.

Thanks.
YM

Got a small pcap you could share?

Hi Justin,

Yes I did. I also tried/compared with previously working conf files, conf file in the tarball, and the conf  file 
from Snort labs but the behavior remained the same across all configurations.

Thanks.
YM

Hi YM,

have you verified that frag3 and stream5 are configured and enabled to support tcp?

Hi Marcos,

Thanks for your reply. I did try with -k none as suggested and I'm getting the same results, no TCP alerts, just UDP 
and ICMP.

Hi YM,

Could you try again by adding '-k none' please?
